Nevada Week In Person | Michael Lyle
SEASON 1: EPISODE 36 | Airdate: 8/6/2022
One-on-one interview with Nevada Current reporter Michael Lyle.
Michael Lyle has worked as a journalist in Southern Nevada for more than a decade. He started at the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a community reporter for the city of Henderson. Lyle said the experience helped build his skills as a reporter and allowed him to see the hyperlocal impact of some policy decisions.
Lyle has covered everything from criminal justice to homelessness but he says that covering stories about race relations and LGBTQ issues is what drives him. Lyle says he's drawn to those stories because he is both mixed race and gay and he feels stories about people of color and the LGBTQ community are often underreported.
